New Help For The Under-Endowed

No, this isn't some "add three inches" E-mail promise. It is the ultimate proof of a man's virility... the size of his truck. SUVs are just average. A Hummer is better, or a Ford F-350 pick-up, the one with four rear tires. But now Navistar has upped the ante. Their new CXT (short for commercial extreme truck) is the world's largest production pick-up truck, two feet taller than a Hummer or an F-350. It weighs seven tons and can haul another six tons in its bed. "It's not going to fit into the standard garage," said a Navistar spokesman. Don't expect it to be a big hit with the redneck crowd, though--it costs $93-115,000! Notice that Navistar failed to mention the price in their press release.
